The aim is to identify the epidemiological profile of mortality among Brazilian indigenous children under five years of age, through an integrative review. Articles that evaluated the mortality of indigenous Brazilian children under one and/or five years of age, from 2000 to 2020, in Portuguese, English, and/or Spanish, in the LILACS, SciELO, and MEDLINE databases were included. Of the 3,229 publications found, 22 were included in the review.

The Amazon rainforest is characterized by a limited number of hyperdominant trees that play an oversized role in its ecosystems, nutrient cycle, and rainfall production. Some of these, such as the Brazil nut, appear to have been intensively exploited and dispersed by Indigenous populations since their earliest arrival in this part of South America around 13,000 years ago. However, the genetic diversity-and geographic structure-of these species remains poorly understood, as does their exact relationship with past human land use.

Tooth loss among indigenous people in the Amazon emphasizes the need for culturally appropriate oral health interventions. The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence of tooth loss in two remote Amazon indigenous populations. This prospective cohort evaluated a total of 47 indigenous in the permanent dentition at T0 and thirteen years later (T1) from two villages, Arara-Laranjal (n = 28, mean age 16.

Indigenous wellness has been defined in varying contexts by diverse Indigenous Peoples. The existing indicators used to measure wellness are often defined from a Western perspective. Despite the rich conceptualizations of Indigenous wellness, there exists a notable gap in how it can be measured in contemporary contexts through an Indigenous lens.

Social determinants of health (SDHs) and the impact of colonization can make Canadian Arctic Indigenous communities susceptible to infectious diseases, including the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This scoping review followed the PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews and studied what is known about selected pandemics (COVID-19, tuberculosis, and H1N1 influenza) and SDHs (healthcare accessibility, food insecurity, mental health, cultural continuity, housing, community infrastructure, and socioeconomic status (SES)) for Canadian Arctic Indigenous communities. Original studies published in English and French up to October 2024 were located in databases (PubMed, Medline, and CINAHL), , and through reference tracking.
